The last of 1.8 to upload, and we have Zeno this time! You could also say this is a glorified Lilya Anecdote, but that's beside the point! Anyways, Zeno were present in 1.8's Farewell Rayashki, and tried to cooperate with Rayashki to keep it sustainable, only for them to find a way to stay afloat and sustainable without the need of Zeno.
Here, we get to learn more about them, some of their soldiers known as Aleksei and Hassan, Lilya who had mentioned her connections to Zeno in Chapter 7, and then we have Bertolt, who seemed very stern and not the most likeable in the 1.8 event story, but do we see a different side to him that allows us to better understand his perspective?
We learn more about all of this in this slightly different and fairly long Anecdote! Timestamps below, and onward to 1.9 and hopefully 2.0 story stuff soon, as well as more of the present!
